Lewis took over from Chet Murphy in 1960. The Gopher coach has been associated with Big Ten tennis for 15 years. He was runnerup in the conference singles tourney in 1951 while playing for Iowa. He received both his bachelor's and master's degrees at the Hawkeye school and was chosen outstanding campus leader there in 1951. Lewis spent five years coaching football, swimming and tennis at Streator (Illinois) Township High School before coming to Minnesota in 1959. He also served a stint in the U.S. Arnry Medical Service Corps from 1951 to '53. In 1947, while still a student at Fort Madison (Iowa) High School, he was ranked 25th nationally in the junior singles and 16th in the doubles. While in college he conducted tennis clinics on the Iowa campus in 1949 and ' 50. The 34-year old mentor is married and the father of two children: Kirk, S, and Lea Anne, 5. 1964 GOPHER '!ENNIS OUTLOOK This spring's Minnesota tennis team looms as the youngest in Coach Don Lewis I five-year tenure but is expected to be superior to last year's squad which finished last in the Big Ten. "We should be better without question," declares Lewis. He adds, however, that the conference should be stronger, too. Only two lettermen - co-captains Mac Lutz and Charles Mikkelson - will be .. back, and as many as four sophomores may crack the starting lineup. The newcomers are rated the most enthusiastic and hard-working group of fledglings that Lewis has ever coached. Their inexperience will hurt, but their competitive fire will enhance the Gophers' chances to move up in the standings. Four lettermen are lost from the 1963 team - Capt. John Adams, Tom Hoivik, Jerry Kriehn and Frank Kleckner. Only Adams and Hoivik were seniors. Kriehn has • moved to Arizona and Kleckner is ineligible since he is attending school on a Part-time basis. Kleckner, a junior, was considered one of the Gophers' top prospects. No.1 sophomore is Jerry Noyce who quickly captured the No.1 spot in pre- season workouts. He is a power player who should develop into an excellent canpotitor with experience. Competition is wide open for the other five spots. Lutz, !JIikkelson and three other sophs were rated about even prior to the team's annual Texas trip. The soph trio includes Tom Boice of Wayzata, Gerald Krause of St. Louis Park and Dave Rosenberg of St. Paul Central. Rosenberg is the top student on the team with a 4.0 (IIAIl) average. Lutz has been slow rounding into shape since he worked 40 hours a week during the fall and winter in connection with his engineering studies. As a result of this heavy schedule, he found little time to practice. Two other players who were not eligible winter quarter are considered possibilities to make the top six. They are sophomore Bryan Stamp and senior Brian Lawson. ---------------------------,_r----- ,.. • I UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF r· PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND ATHLETICS • MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455 University of Minnesota "The Gophers" GOLF BROCHURE 1964 The Schedule Sat.-5un.
